2 Samuelova 15
1 A poslije toga nabavi sebi Avesalom kola i konja i pedeset ljudi, koji trèahu pred njim.
And it came to pass, after this, that Absolom prepared him chariots and horses, —and fifty men, to run before him.
2 I ustajaše rano Avesalom, i stajaše kraj puta kod vrata; i ko god imaše parnicu i iðaše caru na sud, Avesalom ga dozivaše k sebi i govoraše: iz koga si grada? A kad bi onaj odgovorio: sluga je tvoj iz toga i toga plemena Izrailjeva,
And Absolom used to rise up early, and take his stand beside the way of the gate, —and so it was—when any man who had a controversy would come unto the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said: Of what city, art, thou? And he said, Of one of the tribes of Israel, is thy servant. And Absolom said unto him,
3 Tada bi mu rekao Avesalom: vidiš, tvoja je stvar dobra i pravedna, ali te nema ko saslušati kod cara.
See! thy cause, is good and right, —but, to hear it, thou hast no one, from the king.
4 Još govoraše Avesalom: kad bih ja bio postavljen da sudim u zemlji! da svaki k meni dolazi koji ima posla na sudu, ja bih mu dao pravicu.
And Absalom said, Oh would that I were appointed to judge in the land! that, unto me, might come every man having a complaint or a defence, then would I see him righted.
5 I kad bi mu ko pristupio da mu se pokloni, on bi pružio ruku svoju, te bi ga uhvatio i poljubio.
Moreover, so it used to be, that, when any man came near to do him homage, he would put forth his hand, and lay hold of him, and kiss him.
6 Tako èinjaše Avesalom sa svakim Izrailjcem, koji dolažaše na sud k caru; i Avesalom primamljivaše srca ljudi Izrailjaca.
And Absolom did, after this manner, to all Israel who came for judgment, unto the king, —so Absolom stole away the heart of the men of Israel.
7 A kad proðe èetrdeset godina, reèe Avesalom caru: da otidem u Hevron da izvršim zavjet koji sam zavjetovao Gospodu.
And it came to pass, at the end of forty years, that Absolom said unto the king—Let me go, I pray thee, that I may pay my vow which I have vowed unto Yahweh, in Hebron;
8 Jer kad sjeðah u Gesuru u Siriji, uèini zavjet sluga tvoj rekavši: ako me Gospod odvede natrag u Jerusalim, poslužiæu Gospodu.
for thy servant vowed, a vow, while I abode in Geshur in Syria, saying, —If Yahweh, will but bring me back, unto Jerusalem, then will I serve Yahweh,
9 A car mu reèe: idi s mirom. I on se podiže i otide u Hevron.
And the king said unto him—Go and prosper! So he arose and went to Hebron.
10 I razasla Avesalom po svijem plemenima Izrailjevim uhode poruèivši: kad èujete trube da zatrube, recite: zacari se Avesalom u Hevronu.
And Absolom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, —When ye hear the sound of the horn, then shall ye say, Absolom hath become king in Hebron!
11 A s Avesalomom otide dvjesta ljudi iz Jerusalima pozvanijeh; ali otidoše u prostoti svojoj ne znajuæi ništa.
And, with Absolom, went two hundred men, out of Jerusalem, who, having been bidden, were going in their simplicity, —neither knew they anything.
12 A Avesalom posla i po Ahitofela Gilonjanina, savjetnika Davidova, da doðe iz grada svojega Gilona, kad prinošaše žrtve. I buna posta jaka, i narod se sve više stjecaše k Avesalomu.
And Absalom sent and called Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, out of his city, out of Gilo, when he was offering sacrifices, —and so it was that the conspiracy was strong, and, the people, went on multiplying with Absolom.
13 Tada doðe glasnik k Davidu i reèe: srce Izrailju prista za Avesalomom.
Then came one bearing tidings unto David, saying, —It hath come about, that the heart of the men of Israel goeth after Absolom.
14 A David reèe svijem slugama svojim koje bijahu s njim u Jerusalimu: ustajte, da bježimo; inaèe neæemo uteæi od Avesaloma; brže pohitajte, da ne pohita on i ne stigne nas i obori na nas zlo, i grada ne okrene pod maè.
Then said David, to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem—Arise and let us flee, or we shall have no way of escape from the face of Absolom, —make speed to depart, lest he make speed, and so overtake us, and bring down misfortune upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
15 A sluge careve rekoše caru: što je god volja caru gospodaru našemu, evo sluga tvojih.
And the king’s servants said unto the king, —According to all that my lord the king shall choose, here are thy servants.
16 I otide car pješice i sav dom njegov; samo deset žena inoèa ostavi car da mu èuvaju kuæu.
So the king went forth, with all his household attending him, —but the king left ten women who were concubines, to keep the house.
17 I kad otide car i sav narod pješice, ustaviše se na jednom mjestu podaleko.
Thus then the king went forth, with all the people attending him, —and they came to a stand at a place that was far off.
18 A sve sluge njegove iðahu uza nj, i svi Hereteji i svi Feleteji; i svi Geteji, šest stotina ljudi, koji bijahu došli pješke iz Gata, iðahu pred carem.
And, all his servants, were passing on beside him, and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, —and, all the Gittites—six hundred men, who had accompanied him from Gath, —were passing on before the king.
19 I reèe car Itaju Getejinu: što i ti ideš s nama? Vrati se i ostani kod cara; jer si stranac i opet æeš otiæi u svoje mjesto.
Then said the king, unto Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore shouldest, thou also, go with us? return and abide with the king, for, a stranger, art thou, moreover also, an exile, art thou from thine own country.
20 Juèe si došao, pa zar danas da te kreæem da se potucaš s nama? Ja æu iæi kuda mogu, a ti se vrati i odvedi natrag braæu svoju. Neka milost i vjera bude s tobom.
Only yesterday, camest thou, and, today, shall I let thee wander with us, on our journey, seeing that, I, am going, whithersoever I may? Return and take back thy brethren with thee, and may Yahweh deal with thee in lovingkindness and faithfulness.
21 A Itaj odgovori caru i reèe: tako živ da je Gospod i tako da je živ car gospodar moj, gdje bude car gospodar moj, bilo na smrt ili na život, ondje æe biti i sluga tvoj.
But Ittai answered the king, and said, —By the life of Yahweh, and by the life of my lord the king, surely, in whatsoever place, my lord the king, may be, whether for death or for life, there will, thy servant, be.
22 Tada reèe David Itaju: a ti hodi. I tako poðe Itaj Getejin sa svijem ljudima svojim i svom djecom što bijahu s njim.
Then said David unto Ittai—Go, and pass on. So Ittai the Gittite passed on, with all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
23 I sva zemlja plakaše iza glasa i sav narod prelažaše. I tako car prijeðe preko potoka Kedrona, i sav narod prijeðe iduæi k pustinji.
And, fall the land, was weeping, with a loud voice, and, all the people, were passing on, —the king also, was passing on, through the torrent-bed of Kidron, and all the people were passing on over the face of the way leading to the wilderness.
24 A gle i Sadok bijaše ondje i svi Leviti s njim noseæi kovèeg zavjeta Božijega; i spustiše kovèeg Božji, a poðe i Avijatar, dokle sav narod izide iz grada.
And lo! Zadok also, and all the Levites with him, were bearing the ark of the covenant of God, and they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar went up, until all the people had made an end of passing over out of the city.
25 I reèe car Sadoku: nosi kovèeg Božji natrag u grad; ako naðem milost pred Gospodom, on æe me dovesti natrag, i daæe mi da opet vidim njega i dom njegov.
Then said the king unto Zadok, Take back the ark of God into the city, —if I find favour in the eyes of Yahweh, then will he bring me back, and let me see both him and his habitation,
26 Ako li ovako reèe: nijesi mi mio; evo me, neka uèini sa mnom što mu bude volja.
but, if thus, he say, I have no delight in thee, here I am, let him do unto me as may be good in his eyes.
27 Još reèe car Sadoku svešteniku: nijesi li ti vidjelac? vrati se u grad s mirom, i Ahimas sin tvoj i Jonatan sin Avijatarov, dva sina vaša s vama.
And the king said, unto Zadok the priest, Art thou not, a seer? return into the city, in peace, —and Ahimaaz thine own son, and Jonathan son of Abiathar—your two sons, with you.
28 Vidite, ja æu se zabaviti u polju u pustinji dokle ne doðe od vas glasnik da mi javi.
See! I, am tarrying in the waste plains of the wilderness—until there come word from you, to tell me.
29 I tako Sadok i Avijatar odnesoše kovèeg Božji natrag u Jerusalim, i ostaše ondje.
So Zadok and Abiathar took back the ark of God to Jerusalem, —and abode there.
30 A David iðaše uz goru Maslinsku, i iduæi plakaše, i pokrivene glave i bos iðaše; tako i sav narod, koji bješe s njim, svaki pokrivene glave iðaše, i iduæi plakaše.
Now, David, was going up by the ascent of Olivet, weeping as he went up, with his head covered, himself, passing on barefoot, —and all the people who were with him, covered every man his head, and went up, weeping as they went.
31 Tada javiše Davidu i rekoše mu: Ahitofel je meðu onima koji se pobuniše s Avesalomom. A David reèe: razbij namjeru Ahitofelovu, Gospode!
And, unto David, it was told, saying, Ahithophel, is among the conspirators with Absolom. And David said, Turn to foolishness, I pray thee, the counsel of Ahithophel, O Yahweh.
32 I kad David doðe navrh gore, gdje se šæaše pokloniti Bogu, gle, srete ga Husaj Arhijanin razdrte haljine i glave posute prahom.
And it came to pass, when David reached the summit, where he bowed himself down unto God, that lo! there met him, Hushai the Archite, his tunic rent, and earth upon his head.
33 I reèe mu David: ako poðeš sa mnom biæeš mi na tegotu.
And David said unto him, —If thou pass over with me, then shalt thou become unto me, a burden;
34 Ali da se vratiš u grad i reèeš Avesalomu: biæu tvoj sluga, care! bio sam dugo sluga tvome ocu, a sada æu tako biti tebi sluga; razbiæeš mi namjeru Ahitofelovu.
but, if, to the city, thou return, then canst thou say unto Absolom—Thy servant, I, O king, will be, as, the servant of thy father, I was formerly, so will I, now, be thy servant: thus shalt thou frustrate for me the counsel of Ahithophel.
35 I sveštenici Sadok i Avijatar neæe li biti s tobom? Što god èuješ iz kuæe careve, dokaži Sadoku i Avijataru sveštenicima.
And hast thou not, with thee, there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? so then it shall be, that, what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the house of the king, thou shalt tell to Zadok and to Abiathar, the priests.
36 Eto, ondje su s njima dva sina njihova, Ahimas Sadokov i Jonatan Avijatarov, po njima mi javljajte što god doèujete.
Lo! they have there with them, their two sons, Ahimaaz for Zadok, and Jonathan for Abiathar, —so shall ye send, by their hand, unto me, everything which ye shall hear.
37 I otide u grad Husaj prijatelj Davidov, i Avesalom doðe u Jerusalim.
So Hushai, David’s friend, went into the city, —when, Absolom, was about to enter Jerusalem.
